Combine the <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/rnc-2012-clint-eastwood-eastwooding/">absurdity of Eastwooding</a> and a dash of <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/news/tim-tebow-tebowing-tumblr/">Tebowing</a>, and you&rsquo;ve got the Internet&rsquo;s latest ridiculous photo meme, Teoing.</p>
<p>

Rather, she was a <a href="http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/16/notre-dame-manti-teo-victim-of-a-hoax/">hoax possibly created by</a>&mdash;but definitely involving&mdash; the linebacker for reasons that are still unclear.</p>

While the the university sorts out what happened, the Internet is reacting accordingly (and lazily) by posting Teoing pics. It&#39;s simple: Just pose next to your imaginary girlfriend by doing boyfriend-type things, like hugging or proposing to her. How original.</p>
<p>
The meme sprouted Thursday on a Tumblr called #Teoing and has already garnered 60 posts. Here&#39;s a look at some of the best ones.</p>
